Partnership between EGA and Century Aluminum Co. for Building New Primary Aluminum Production Plant in Oklahoma
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Century Aluminum Co. from Chicago have formed a partnership to construct a new primary aluminum production plant in Oklahoma. This venture marks the first greenfield primary aluminum smelter to be built in the United States since 1980. In a noteworthy move, the companies have decided to concentrate their greenfield development efforts solely on this project in the U.S. In a related development, EGA had previously disclosed its intention to invest close to $50 million to resume operations at its Mt. Holly smelter in South Carolina, which had been operating at 75 percent capacity. Furthermore, the company successfully extended its power agreement with South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) in early October 2025, ensuring a stable power supply for the smelter until 2031. This agreement is a significant milestone in the company's strategy to revive the idled capacity at the facility.
